Front end design of last gen CTS-V was the best imo.

Front end design of last gen CTS-V was the best imo.

My only gripe about the Blackwing's is there is no hood "ornamentation" at all.

Spotted on 294. Saw in my rearview and wondered if a BW then heard it under a bridge and knew. Appropriately equipped with 3 pedals (save the manuals sticker on back). I was in a black Miata if you saw me, we passed each other a couple times.

Last week - in some heavy traffic in Waldorf area - PG county MD just outside the beltway - I came up on what I thought was a CT5 V BW....turns out it was a late model CTS-V. No pics unfortunately...but it looked great - a grayish color with red accents - was demonstratively very quick and was one of the louder cars I've heard in a while (all in a good way).

Owner was a young guy and we talked for a bit rolling in traffic. He complimented my CT4V and said his dad owned a 2023 CT4 V BW...but he couldn't figure out why mine looked so much nicer. My guess its the paint color combo with my bronze Apex wheels...

Oh, my spec is very exclusive. In fact maybe I'll start a private Facebook group!

I was told there another IMSA Sebring CT4V Blackwing in Palo Alto. And I met @Sebring20 at a V-Club meet. Cadillacs alone (non Escalade) are rare enough around here that I perk up when I see any sedan. I'm sure I've confused some CT4 and CT5 sport drivers with my aggressive waves and smiles.

Funny enough, theres another IMSA edition (the blue one) in my condo building as well. Quite a few in the Bay Area for a relatively rare car
